Wises Celebrate 70 Years Together

December 13, 2011

Steve and Margie Wise of Slanesville, W.Va., will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on Dec. 23.

Steve and Margie were married on Dec. 23, 1941, in Webster Springs, W.Va. Steve and Margie went to the movies with Doren Wise (Steve's brother) and Fay House (Margie's sister). During the movies they slipped away and were married by the Rev. A. M. Marlow and then returned to the movies. Their fondness for a good movie continues to this day.

The Wises are proud parents of three children: Donald and his wife Kathy of Vienna, W.Va.; Dreama Swope of Romney, W.Va.; and Doris Kelley and her husband Richard of Port, Orchard, Wash. They have seven grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
